How to Plan the Perfect Graze

How Much Is Enough?

Once you've settled on what your event's graze menu will include, the next step is determining how many guests you'll be serving. Will the spread be served as:

  • a light nibble with drinks

  • a pre-dinner bite

  • or the main meal?

Next, consider how many pieces you'd like per guest — this will guide how much food you’ll need to order.

As a general guide, here’s how many canapés to allow per guest based on your event's duration:

  • 4–6 canapés per person for a 1-hour event

  • 6–8 canapés per person for a 2-hour event

  • 10–12 canapés per person for events lasting 3+ hours

💡 If your graze is the main meal, we suggest 10–12 savory canapés and 2–3 sweet canapés per person.

Let's Talk Presentation

Now that you’ve settled on your graze menu, it’s time to think about how it will be presented.

Would you prefer a convenient drop-off in our signature catering boxes, ready for you to display as you wish?
Or are you after something extra — something immersive that brings the full Ambrosia Experience to life?

✨ Presentation is where we truly shine. We believe the magic lies in the full experience — one that feels authentic, inviting, and unforgettable.

We’ll tailor your graze display to suit your event’s vibe — from elegant flat-style tables to tiered, multi-layered feasts. Want florals or bespoke décor? Just let us know — we love weaving in those personal touches.

Important to Know

  • Once grazing tables are set up, food safety is the client's responsibility. Please ensure food is not left out for more than 3 hours and is kept out of direct sunlight.
